About this pro

Grant Shafranski is the PGA director of instruction at Hiawatha Golf Club and program director of The First Tee of Minneapolis. Out of over 1,000 nominees, he was selected honorable mention (top 150) in the 2014 US Kids Top 50 Kids Teachers in America. He also serves on the MN PGA Junior Golf Committee. Prior to the Minneapolis Parks, he was an assistant golf professional at The Minikahda Club in Minneapolis.
Grant believes that having fun and playing more golf are the key components to improving your game. His motto, Learn your swing, encourages students to improve their swing by better understanding their fundamentals, rather than trying to replicate the swings seen on the PGA Tour. His lesson notes, which are emailed after each lesson, help his students remember what to practice.
Grant will track the progress of your lessons statistically with the new ES14 launch monitor. He will keep a log of your numbers, so that each time you come for a lesson, you will be able to numerically see your improvement! You will also be able to try the latest and greatest equipment from Callaway Golf while on the range, testing it side by side with your current set!
The following are some tstimonials:
Grant was calling out yardages, and I was hitting them almost every time! After that, we worked on my driver and was able to add 30 yards to my drive and straighten it out. The best part was Grant did not try to break down my swing then teach me some uncomfortable way to hold the club or awkward way to position my body.
I will definitely seek out Grant Shafranski for more lessons in the future.
Grant Shafranski is the man.
Grant is great with our kids. I would totally recommend him.
He is a great coach who explains things very well.
Grant makes students feel comfortable with a lighthearted, positive, and encouraging attitude. He specializes in introducing beginners to the game in a fun and easy-to-learn setting as well as teaching intermediate and advanced players to understand their swing to maximize their potential.
His favorite part of teaching the game is the relationships that are built with golfers who share the same passion for the game that he exudes every day on the lesson tee.

Grant uses a lot of new technologies to show you how you are swinging, contact with the ball, and if you are maximizing the contact with the ball. Using an app taht shows you side by side comparisions to yur swing and the pros, very helpful to see. I have only had a few lessons but am learning how to improve my overall swing, stance and grip. Can't wait for the spring time to come so I can put what I have learned so far to the test.
